To Swallow a Toad

10 min. | Animation | N/A

"To Swallow a Toad" in Latvian means tolerating what is intolerable, swallowing bitterness. This is how the inhabitants of the Latvian city - father, mother and son - live. This sad story begs the question: what will happen when the last resentment is swallowed?
